Solution

The correct option is B 1,2-butadiene
Butane undergo metal catalyzed thermal dehydrogenation to form hydrogen gas, Cis-butene, Trans-butene but not 1,2-butadiene. Because 1,2-butadiene is a cumulated diene and it is highly unstable so it does not form.
Butanemetal/thermaldehydrogenation−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−H2+cisbutene+transbutene
